Armenia has achieved impressive results in the Eurovision Song Contest, having secured a Top 10 position seven times and passing the qualification rounds 11 times out of its 14 appearances. Sirusho’s „Qele Qele“ in 2008 and Aram MP3’s „Not Alone“ in 2014 both earned Armenia its best result to date of 4th place. The country has consistently received strong points and has never placed last, making it one of the most successful newcomers in recent ESC history. The music from Armenia typically blends contemporary elements with folkloristic influences. While its trend has declined slightly since 2017, Rosa Linn’s entry „Snap“ was a surprise hit in the 2021 contest, qualifying for the Grand Final and becoming the most played ESC song on radio stations. This is a rare achievement and a testament to Armenia’s ongoing popularity in the contest. Congratulations to Armenia for its impressive track record and continued success in the ESC.

Armenia’s involvement in the Eurovision Song Contest has been marked by moments of controversy. In 2012, the country made the decision to abstain from participating in the contest hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, citing political tensions between the two nations. This move was disappointing, as the ESC endeavours to foster music and cultural interchange free from political considerations. Then, in 2020, Armenia was poised to be represented by Athena Manoukian in Rotterdam, but the contest was abruptly cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like all other participating countries, Armenia was compelled to halt its ESC involvement temporarily.
